Drama Live Action from anime “Kochi Kame”

In 2009, one of Japan’s longest-running manga, “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo” - also known as “Kochi Kame” - was made into a live-action drama, which starred SMAP’s Katori Shingo. The series will get another adaptation, but this time, it’s in the form of a live action film, and Katori will reprise the lead role of Kankichi Ryotsu (aka “Ryo-san”).

The upcoming film is called “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo THE MOVIE ~ Kachidoki Bashi wo Fuusa seyo~ (~Seal the Kachidoki Bridge~)”, which is a play on the title of Japan’s best-selling live-action movie of all time, “Odoru Daisousasen THE MOVIE 2 ~ Rainbow Bridge wo Fuusa seyo~ (~Seal the Rainbow Bridge~)”.

The film will be distributed by the movie studio Shochiku, who is responsible for the hit movie series, “Otoko wa Tsurai Yo” and “Tsuribaka Nikki”. Sources reveal that it is very possible that “Kochi Kame” will also spawn a movie franchise.

As for the cast, Katori will be joined by popular actors Fukada Kyoko, Tanimura Shosuke, and Sawamura Ikki. The filming process, which is currently on-going, will end in late March, with the movie release planned for this summer.

Takeshi Hosomi (ELLEGARDEN) Interview in US (2006)

"Thank you so much guy, america has been so great, and we are having a fantastic time here, really, thank you so much!" Takeshi said, waving--and it wasn't the usual rehearsed, typical lead singer chater. It was honest, from the heart, and off the cuff. Takeshi comes off as the nicest guy in j-rock, onstage and off. The whole band came out afterward and spent the whole night chatting with fans, with a 6am flight to new york looming, Nice! Less than an hour after bringing the house down for the first time in north america at SXSW 2006, and with a new CD just out and a nine-city tour on the horizon, Ellegarden's Takeshi Hosomi found a not-too-noisy corner of Austin's Japanese-occupied Brush Square Park and talked about marriage, money, and why TV sucks with purple SKY's Go Wells: Go Wells: So this is your first gig in america; how are you enjoying it? Takeshi Hosomi: You know, we are now making kinda big sales back in japan, and we're well known. All...
